Wicked

Wicked is at the Keller Auditorium for a while longer. Part of the Broadway Across America series, the show is like a Broadway show in downtown Portland.

There are two acts, and they seem to fly by. As far as musicals go, Wicked is an interesting one. It's a Wizard of Oz inspired story, but told in a much more sympathetic way toward the wicked witch. It's a spin on a classic story, and it is funny and moving. The costume work is wonderful, and in fact has won awards.

Pros: great musical numbers, great story, great costumes
Cons: parking at the Keller can be a hassle
Bottom line? Go see Wicked!
